Just an FYI. Since version 1.5 I have been having trouble with keeping Country Block running. I am running cron and have not made any changes to firewall rules. I uninstall the package numerous times and restarted the system. I can get CountryBlock to start ok, but it will only run for a few hours and then shut down. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled cron.

Is anybody else getting this? I noticed started happeing when I install 1.5 and now 1.6.

Thanks,

The only real difference between 1.5 and 1.6 is a new file is included. The file is interfaces.txt and it contains "any" by default.The difference between 1.4 and 1.5 is the interfaces can be specified. Nothing has changed with how the package is run or how it starts.

no errors, that is why it is odd. It will start just fine and then shut down for no reason. I will try to uninstall and reboot and reinstall again and see if that helps. I have tried this a few times now. I will try again,

I've been having the same issue. I removed countryblock from cron and now it runs...I just check every once in a while. What I did is after I installed the Cron package, I created an auto start like this:

I just updated to your latest version and I am having the same issue. It will stop running after a bit and then I have to manually start it. I added the cron job like a couple a posts above ( was running that cron setting before with no issue) and it still will not stay running.

I dont know if Snort is updating the FW rules/states and then cron isnt properly re-enabling country block after the change. Over the past week it has been working just fine. Just all this after the update version 1.6. I was running 1.4 prior.

I am on the latest 2.0 beta build that has been posted.

Is there anything you need from me that may assist with isolating the issue?

List of packages installed please. Also do you have traffic shaping running?I need to figure this out. I'm home now so I can work on this for the next couple of hours.

Edit: When the Bogons update cron job is run the firewall settings get re-applied and that is why countryblock was stopped. To counter this you can have countryblock run after this. This may be why everyone is having difficulty with keeping the package running, a cron job is running that affects the firewall thus killing countryblock.
